Acupuncture cuppingis a type of traditional Chinese medicine. During this procedure, instead of the skin being stuck with needles, it is sucked into special cups. To do this, a flame is usually inserted into a cup before the rim of it is placed on the skin. The fire removes the oxygen, which creates a vacuum and sucks the skin into the cup. Acupuncturists claim that this procedure can increase circulation, relieve pain, and remove toxins from the body.​Many people claim that there are a number of benefits of acupuncture cupping. First, this procedure draws blood to the surface of the skin, which can help stimulate circulation. When the cups are placed on certain acupuncture pressure points, they may also help relieve a variety of medical problems, including chronic pain and respiratory problems. Acupuncture cupping also helps open the skin's pores, which can help remove toxins from the body.Most acupuncture cupping patients agree that this procedure is not as painful as it sounds. When the cups are applied, most people simply feel a slight tugging sensation. One of the side effects of acupuncture cupping, however, is a large purplish circle where each cup is placed. Although they can be rather unattractive, these spots will usually disappear within a few days after the procedure.
